Oskar Blues is releasing the first batch of the award-winning

Ten FIDY Imperial Stout from the Brevard location. The seasonal brew is now fermenting in the tanks at both the Colorado and North Carolina locations. It’ll be released at parties at both Tasty Weasel Tap Rooms and distributed to all 32 states where Oskar Blues is sold.

The Brevard Ten FIDY release party will be on Aug. 29 at the Tasty Weasel tasting room.

Less than nine months after the first North Carolina brew bubbled, the brewers recreated all seven of Oskar Blues’ regular line-up of beers, finishing with Ten FIDY (10.5 percent ABV).

Following the successful release of its spring seasonal, GUBNA, the FIDY will be available until February 2014 or until it sells out.

The event on the night of Aug. 29 includes a chili cook-off with brewery judges, music from This Mountain, a rock and folk band from east Tennessee, Ten FIDY corn hole and special T-shirts featuring the “First in FIDY” license plate.
